The Sunday Whirl: Wordle #425

wordle-425

Designer-style clothing store’s shy owner follow

Conversation betwixt fashionistas bit cut-and-dry

Fearful spoken words salt old wounds she forge 

Chitchat light ’bout dresses finger points selections

And then it happened – an argumentative collide

Loud remark ‘seen the sequin dress first’ therefore tis mine

Territorial cats fight underway

Dress designer’s quick reaction free ladies from themselves

Reveal certain find another same or similar shop’s back room

Owner’s burst laughter turned tears of joy cautious dress remain dry.

Uncertainty

Television extreme boring
Opted game fish prior snoring

Pages click, click, swish
Potentials' profiles embellished

Nearing end tiresome process
Page thirty-six proximity access

Short drive postal code zip
Potential reality rare exists

Thought short message intro type
Follow-up characters delete wiped

Conclusion decisive viable
Catfish optimal versus date reliable.

The Contemptible Fella

Rearview mirror resemblance vulture
Upshot origin badass behavioral culture

Parallelism buzzard high perch tree out of sight
Male sits facing computer screen awaiting exploit

Combination old pics and text bundled pack lies
Misrepresentations self seek vulnerable preys, sigh

Pretext long term relationship hopeful attracts
Genuine women, money plus multitude self-satisfacts 

Clever conception plus facetious expressions 
Relax scorned women conceal deep-seated aggressions

Inevitable future bait and switch reciprocate
Drama free serendipity twist of fate anticipate.
